The tonoplast monosaccharide transporter (TMT) family plays essential roles in sugar transport and plant growth. However, there is limited knowledge about the evolutionary dynamics of this important gene family in important Gramineae crops and putati...

Sugars function as essential signaling molecules and metabolic substrates in plant growth, development, yield formation, and fruit quality. The aril of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) accumulates high levels of hexoses, primarily glucose and fructose...

Sugars are important throughout a plant’s lifecycle. Monosaccharide transporters (MST) are essential sugar transporters that have been identified in many plants, but little is known about the evolution or functions of MST genes in rapeseed (Bra...

Although pathogens such as nematodes are known to hijack nutrients from host plants, the mechanisms whereby nematodes obtain sugars from plants remain largely unknown. To determine the effects of nematode infection on host plant sugar allocation, sol...
